What do the codes that i use to indicate condition mean?:

"Goldmine Standard" grading:

SS Still Sealed
Never opened. Flawless, with no damage whatsoever.



M- Mint Minus
Has been opened, but is still flawless
with no damage whatsoever.

VG++
Between M- and VG+


VG+ Very Good Plus

Vinyl: May have scuff marks and signs of some wear but
will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only
"barely detectable" crackles or pops. A slight noise at the
begining is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless.

Cover: May only have the slightest signs of normal wear.



VG Very Good

The majority of records (worth selling) fall under this grade.

Vinyl: May crackle, pop or make other annoying noises, but only
occasionally,never continuously, and not more loudly than the
music being listened to.

Cover: Normal used cover wear such as ring wear and split seams.
If there is abnormal damage such as tears or markings,
but the seller still feels that it qualifies as a "VG",
the damage must be described in comments attached to the item.



G+ Good Plus

Vinyl: May have continuous crackles, pops, etc... but not so loud as to
make the music completely unlistenable or unenjoyable to the
casual listener.

Cover: More than normal wear and tear.
